Abstract	Multilocus sequence typing was used to characterize isolates of the major Spanish clones of penicillin-resistant and multiple-antibiotic-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae. Isolates of the multidrug-resistant Spanish serotype 23F clone and serotype variants of this clone either had identical allelic profiles or their allelic profiles differed from this typical allelic profile at only one of the seven housekeeping loci. Similarly, isolates of the Spanish serotype 6B and 14 clones and the penicillin-resistant serotype 9V clone (and serotype variants of this clone) each had the same allelic profiles or profiles that differed at a single locus. Multilocus sequence typing therefore allows resistant pneumococci to be assigned to the Spanish clones if they have the typical allelic profile of the clone or if their profiles differ from that profile at a single locus. A few resistant isolates that had allelic profiles typical of that of a Spanish clone or whose profiles differed from that of the typical profile at only a single locus possessed penicillin-binding protein pbp1a, pbp2b, or pbp2x genes that differed from those that are characteristic of the clone. In most cases these isolates could be assigned as variant members of the clone. Since almost all serotype 9V isolates have very similar genotypes, independently emerging penicillin-resistant clones of this serotype will inevitably appear to be similar by molecular typing procedures. Analysis of the pbp genes, in addition to multilocus sequence typing (or any other molecular typing procedure), is therefore required to assign isolates unambiguously to the penicillin-resistant Spanish serotype 9V clone.
